Joe Italiano's Maplewood - MOORESTOWN

This location is attached to the Moorestown mall. They have an entrance outside as well as one inside one of the malls hallways. Seating wise they have outdoor patio style seating while inside you have bar, high tables, Regular tables, and booths.We ordered the calamari to start us off which was delicious. It was a very generous serving that included fried jalapeños and cocktail sauce.All entrees come with a salad and bread. The bread was a loaf and some garlic bread. These were soft with a bit of crunch. The salad was tossed in the home dressing nicely however I wish the onion was cut up more. I mistook a giant piece of onion for lettuce.I ordered the wild corn and crab bisque which was fantastic. This was by far the best thing here. It was thick but still liquid with bug chunks of real crab in it.The pasta comes with either meatballs, Sausage, or mushrooms. I went with mushrooms with the cheese calvatelli. It wasn't bad but didn't knock my socks off like the soup did. Each piece was not too small or large with cheese filling. They included a good helping of mushrooms with mine.The wait staff were fantastic helping us get a high chair for our son. They came over periodically to check in on us without it being every couple of minutes or a long break between. They were also so friendly when our son accidentally threw a plate on the ground shattering it.I recommend this place for the appetizers and the soup along with the wait staff.

We ordered appetizers before dinner. One of these was shrimp cocktail. We received four small shrimp with two small plastic containers of cocktail sauce. Definitely not worth the cost. Server was cordial but the service was very slow. They could do better.

I have been very pleased with this restaurant in Mays Landing, saw this was in Moorestown while in the area, and stopped in for lunch. It wasn’t easy to find with GPS. It’s closer to Boscov’s, but GOS had me on the other end of the mall. The salad is really special , fresh and delish. I had sandwich like a cheesesteak with eggplant in it. I really like the idea of that better than the actual sandwich but it was good not greats. I would come back to try some other options on the menu.

We went for happy hour. Great meatballs, discounted drinks. The band was an added bonus.

Everyone's meal was very good and hot. Was disappointed they didn't have the lobster bisque. Server was very good and attentive to our wants and needs and there were 9 of us.Parking: It is located at the Moorestown Mall so no problem parking.
